Id love for a feature to change my movies etc. to diffrent aspect ratios  
mostly things like 2:39:1  
My main reason for this request is because i have a ultrawide monitor and i would benefit a lot from it to remove more black bars.  
VLC supports this feature, and ive tested it and it works perfectly fine  
basicly you just use the crop function in VLC  
i mostly want to have this for the windows version,considering my ultrawide monitor  
htpc plex has some weird aspect ratio feature,but it is not really what im looking for  
i want multiple aspect ratio selections  
thank you

There’s an existing feature suggestion discussing an option to crop the video to fit certain aspect ratios / change the aspect ratio of the player output. I suggest you comment/vote in that thread in order to avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.

> Hi Folks, &nbsp; It would be nice if we could have a feature on the following clients which allows the Zoom, cropping of the Black borders on films on the following clients. &nbsp; Android Client and Roku Client. &nbsp; Is this something that could be considered? &nbsp; Thanks &nbsp; Optimal

Unless I’ve missed some unique aspect of your suggestion, I’ll close this thread as a duplicate.
